The mediocrity, hypocrisy and corruption that arise from the Gabonese political system are well established. The reality of the virtual prison in which the Gabonese live is obvious. The exposure of the incongruity of the judicial sector has been long ago made effective. That said, one is always surprised, listening to those in power, by the degree of inanity they display; and has to ask the question: how did these ignoramuses manage to take over our country?

The above video would have its place as a scene of a comical play about a particularly foolish individual. Unfortunately, that is indeed the President of Gabon who is speaking in it; this is indeed the one who leads the destiny of the national economy, who is explaining how he can know that the purchasing power of the Gabonese people has increased. This video is a museum piece! The level of stupidity in it is very rare!

Dear readers, when you watch and listen to this video, one wonders how someone like Ali Bongo, who already centralizes everything around him like any self-respecting dictator, can be the architect of the economic and social development of Gabon? When one listens to what comes out of his mouth, one measures the weakness of his knowledge of the economic concepts, methods and mechanisms; which necessarily leads to and explains why he chronically lacks vision and pragmatic strategic objectives that are supported by the realities of the Gabonese economy, preferring to regularly take refuge in the slogans and announcement effects with no future. When one does not know anything, they cannot have a strategic course that clearly shows where they are going. Therefore, the regime and Ali Bongo are reluctant to evoke the long term using a technical and verifiable terminology. They are just using slogans, emerging Gabon in 2025 edge! When asked the whys and hows that could justify this slogan, they react to this question as if it were an offense, for the simple reason that this regime cannot project itself beyond its own foolishness.

The result of this is the ambient disorientation of the entire Gabonese economic and social sector. The regime is incapable of rigorous technical evaluation of the roadmap of its own guidelines from 2009. So, nothing about the string of failures that have caused all work sites to be off; nothing about the collateral damage of a disorganized economic management, which can be observed with the shortages of petroleum products. Dear readers, the dissonance is such that while Ali Bongo tells us that there has been an improvement in the business climate in Gabon, international economic experts are unanimous that this climate is at its worst in Gabon.

The US State Department annually publishes a fiscal transparency report for all countries of the world. Knowing that the business climate is closely linked to the fiscal environment of a country, and that the existence of a transparent fiscal framework is considered a prerequisite for having rules and practices of good governance become embedded in a country; the report of the US State Department tells us a lot about the real situation of the business climate in Gabon.

For the 2014 report, which you can read for yourself by clicking here, the US has determined that not only did Gabon not meet the minimum criteria to be classified among the countries having fiscal transparency, but more importantly, no significant progress has been made by Gabon to improve the situation. Dear readers, when we read the conclusions of the US State Department and listen to the rantings of Ali Bongo on the cleaning up of the business climate in Gabon, what should we make of what comes out of this man’s mouth?

When you listen to Ali Bongo trying to talk about the economy and when you know the reality of the management of Gabon, what investor would entrust their money to the mechanisms led by Ali Bongo in Gabon? What economic actor could have confidence in the ability of Ali Bongo to grow their investments in respect of universal economic standards?

While the Gabonese people dream and contemplate, while they wait for events to be imposed upon them; those who really know what our country represents for their piggy bank, are preparing to impose upon us Noureddine Bongo at the head of the country. The same people who swore they would never accept that Ali Bongo become president of Gabon, are once again ready to capitulate to what is obviously a progression towards the induction of Noureddine Bongo to replace his father Ali. Noureddine has just been replaced quietly at his deputy general manager’s position at Olam, without a new official position being assigned to him. Our informants say that following the resignation of the Issozet-Ngondet government, the king of Morocco, Mborantsuo and the French advisors, will develop a succession platform within the political apparatus of the country, allowing Noureddine to have a boulevard leading to the post of president . Meanwhile, they will have to silence all those like Jean Pin…

English version The deal between France and the US about the succession in Gabon Dear readers, we have submitted to our contacts, the reading of the visit made by the French and American ambassadors, to Marie Madeleine Mborantsuo, the President of the Gabonese Constitutional Court. Here is their opinion. 1. This visit was a demonstration that with regard to their African policies, France and the US have resolutely made a deal to help each other in their respective squares of influence. 2. France helped the USA in Libya, and the USA helped France in Mali. France plunders Francophone Central Africa, when the US does the same with the Great Lakes region through Rwanda. 3. France allows the USA to settle militarily in Cameroon and Gabon by having periodical war games with the forces of these countries; in response the USA asks their Rwandan and Ugandan pupils to normalize their relations with France. It's a give and take. 4. But why did these ambassadors visit Mborantsuo? Because for these…
